Excuse me, but guns *are* controlled already. In fact,
we have laws for every conceivable act, and now... even
mere thought. But guess what? people still commit crimes.
Damn those criminals, they just don't want to play
along like good blokews and obey, eh?

The fact is that you live in a country where rights are
"bestowed" upon the gracious people by the police...
or politicians. In this country rights are natural...
that is a concept that is not understood for most people
of the world because they have never known it.

Let's go back to 1888 and the Senate Committee on Education. The committee
was addressing local control of education. Concerned was expressed that
local control of the government education process might actually result in
our children being taught too much! The committee report actually says "We
believe that education is one of the principal causes of discontent of late
years manifesting itself among the laboring classes." In other words, the
more someone knows the more discontent they become in later years.
Discontent with what? Their rulers?

We go to the Rockefeller Education Board. This is the group that funded the
creation of many of our early government schools around the country. Direct
quote my dear friends ... read this and try to absorb it:

"In our dreams ... people yield themselves with perfect docility to our
molding hands. The present educational conventions (intellectual and
character education) fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we
work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk."

I'll leave it up to you smart folks to figure out how this dovetails.
